Chapter 216
Chapter 216
"I see them!"
"W-What... what the hell is that?!"
Viola, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up.
After breaking through the clouds that had been blocking their view, Viola’s mouth fell open wide, her face filled with shock.
Baby 5 and Buffalo immediately turned their heads to look in the direction Viola was pointing.
They had thought they finally caught up to Monet and the others, but there were no ships visible on the sea below.
However, as their eyes moved upward, they froze just like Viola, their jaws dropping in disbelief.
"T-This... what the hell is this?! The islands are floating in the sky!!!"
Baby 5 couldn’t help but mutter in shock, her stunned expression still stuck on her face.
It was too bizarre. The islands that were supposed to be in the sea were now floating high up in the sky.
Although the scene looked like a beautiful dreamland, it gave the three of them an eerie and chilling feeling.
"Look! That’s Punk Hazard, isn’t it?! Why is that island here?!"
Viola, with her sharp eyes, quickly spotted Punk Hazard among the many floating islands.
"Punk Hazard...? That’s impossible. Punk Hazard shouldn’t be anywhere near here! This place is close to the Calm Belt!"
The two of them stared in shock, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.
But the truth was right in front of them — that island was definitely Punk Hazard. How could they not believe it?
This was strange. Far too strange.
At the same time, they also realized something important.
The person who had kidnapped Caesar and Monet was definitely not ordinary.
"Now that I think about it... there really was someone like that who appeared recently. Someone who likes to cause chaos..."
Buffalo suddenly spoke up, as if he had just realized something.
Hearing his words, both Baby 5 and Viola immediately understood what he meant.
"Ah, I remember now. There really was a guy who caused trouble everywhere before even entering the New World. A man who kept making headlines."
"His name is... ’Golden Lion II’ — Rorschach."
Baby 5’s expression turned gloomy as she slowly spoke.
After she said that, the atmosphere around them grew heavy.
"Most of what we know about ’Golden Lion II’ is just from the newspapers. We still don’t know how strong he actually is."
"Either way, we should report this situation to the Young Master first."
"If nothing unexpected happened, then the one who kidnapped Caesar and Monet is most likely ’Golden Lion II’ Rorschach."
Viola was the first to calm down and spoke in a steady tone.
Although she wasn’t in the Donquixote Family by choice, she was currently part of it, so she rationally analyzed the situation for the family’s sake.
"We can only do that for now. Baby 5, contact the Young Master immediately and report what’s happening here."
Buffalo also calmed down and spoke after thinking for a moment.
"Understood. I’ll call the Young Master right now."
Baby 5 nodded and reached into her coat to take out a small Den Den Mushi.
Even she could understand how serious the situation was. This wasn’t the time to act impulsively.
However, just as she took out the Den Den Mushi and was about to make the call, a large hand suddenly grabbed the hand holding the Den Den Mushi. At the same time, Viola felt a large hand wrap around her waist.
"Ara ara... Were the two beautiful ladies just talking about me?"
Rorschach’s teasing voice came from right beside them, causing both women to freeze in place.
Buffalo also suddenly felt something heavy land on his back. He had no idea when someone had appeared on him.
When he heard Rorschach’s voice, his face turned pale with fear, and cold sweat started dripping down his forehead.
Just like that, the atmosphere became deathly silent once again.
Viola was sweating heavily. Sweat slid down from her forehead as her fingers trembled slightly. Her lips were tightly pressed together as she swallowed nervously. She wanted to turn around and look, but she didn’t dare.
She didn’t need to think about it — the person behind her was definitely the man they had just been discussing. The legendary great pirate himself.
Gulp.
Baby 5 was the first to react. She forcefully yanked her hand out of Rorschach’s grip and transformed her other arm into a gun, immediately firing a shot at Rorschach’s head.
Clang!
The sound of the bullet hitting his forehead was like metal striking metal.
Viola stared blankly at the aggressive Baby 5, momentarily stunned.
This woman is way too reckless. She didn’t even say a word and just shot him in the head.
Rorschach, who had been shot, felt a bit speechless.
With his reflexes, he could have easily dodged it — or even prevented Baby 5 from breaking free from his grip. But because he wanted to play around, he was curious to see how she would react.
He didn’t expect her to shoot him without saying a single word.
That wasn’t very pirate-like. Usually, they would at least talk shit first before attacking.
"What?! My gun didn’t work?!"
Baby 5 shouted in surprise. Then she transformed her arm into a long blade, looking like she was about to cut Rorschach in half.
"Wait a second, beautiful young lady."
"I just got shot in the head by you. It really hurts. Could you blow on it for me?"
When Rorschach finished speaking, the blade stopped less than a centimeter away from his forehead.
Baby 5 lowered her head, so her expression couldn’t be seen.
This is bad!
Buffalo had a bad feeling, and Baby 5’s reaction was exactly what he expected.
"Blow on it...? You’re saying... you need me, right?"
Baby 5’s previously fierce attitude instantly disappeared. Her face turned red as she smiled shyly and acted bashful.
"That’s right. My head really hurts. I need a beautiful girl to blow on it so it won’t hurt anymore."
Rorschach smiled and nodded.
"You need me... You need me, right...?"
Baby 5’s eyes lit up. Her face flushed with excitement as she immediately ran up to him and pulled Rorschach’s head into her chest.
She lifted her golden hair and gently blew on the spot where she had just shot him.
"I’m sorry, I was too rough just now. Does it still hurt? If it still hurts, I can keep blowing on it."
Baby 5 asked shyly, her face red.
Being needed by someone made her feel incredibly excited. She couldn’t refuse Rorschach’s request.
Rorschach enjoyed the soft sensation on his chest and the warm breath on his forehead, secretly giving himself a thumbs-up in his mind.
As expected of the woman known as the easiest to deal with in the One Piece world — just one sentence was enough to get this kind of treatment.
No wonder Doflamingo often had headaches because of Baby 5. He constantly had to clean up after the men who confessed to her, because she was far too easy to fool.
